for several years past.
 Since it would appear that Solo knoxville possesses all of the pat riotism in the county-or at least is the only town that will make any effort toward celebration we extend a cordial invitation to Clifton and other towns to visit us on the Fourth of July, and par take of our festivities. The com mittee of arrangements, Messrs. w. c. W. Smith, A. G. Olney, with Bert Frye as treasurer, have ar ranged for series of races, which will probably extend over a period of two or three days, commencing on the 4th. On the night of the 4th a grand ball will be given at the courthouse and a fine supper will be spread at the Gila hotel. Besides the regular programme minor festivities will be indulged in, and we can guarantee our vls- itors a most enjoyable time.
 F. A. Morgan arrived in town last Friday, and is now with the firm of H. A. Morgan & O., who have opened their store and are doing an excellent business.
 Mir. and Mrs. W. E. Dowdell are stopping at the Gila Hotel, and being good patriotic citizens will to enjoy the festivities of the glorious Fourth.

 MT. D. Havenstrite, of Newark, N. J., passed through on the stage Friday en route to Fort Thomas, He will put in operation an ice machine at that place, and from there will go to Fort Mcdowell for the same purpose. In the present state of weather Thomas is much to be envied.

 San Juan's day was duly cele- brated on the 24th instant by oul Mexican friends. No casualties.
 Rains in the mountains lately have exercised a most beneficial effect upon the grass and it is be- ginning to pick up rapidly and the feed is looking finely.
 Harvesting is still progressing and with most satisfactory results
 Before closing this letter I wist to once more impress upon the minds of your readers that the county seat will celebrate the Fourth, and that a most hearty welcome will be extended to al visitors. GILA.
